I'm using XP Pro. I'd like to eliminate any programs that use extra RAM that
aren't essential for the computer to run. I'm running Comodo Personal
Firewall Pro and Symantec Anti-Virus Corporate Edition. Both of those need to
stay running. I think the group policy can do what I need. Does it also
handle services? Or can those only be disabled on a whole machine basis?
Thanks!

Hi,
Try this:
Open windows Explorer and locate this path:
C:\Documents and Settings\Nass\StartMenu\Programs\StartUp = Delete what you
don't want for "Nass" to not have on the start Up.
If you mean by not allowing Nass some Applications from using at all, then
try to reconfigure this through either way:
GPO: Group Policy, by Open a run command and type in:
gpedit.msc click [OK] and look under the Administrative Templates and
locate that User " Nass" and see what He/She can have to start up and
programs to be allowed or denied, that if you have a XP pro, you cannot do this
on XP HE.
If the Programs have the feature of Telling yoy do you need this app to be
used by you ( the Admin) or all users, you can select By Me the Admin and Deny other
user(S) or you can select other users and deny others the right to access, you
need to be logged as Admin to do all of that in either cases.
Using the Firewall, a third-party firewall can have the feature of assigning
Programs Permissions and user permissions to access Apps and use them to
connect to the internet.
Please let us know your OS version and what software you wanted that user to
not have access and what firewall/Anti-Virus you may have to give exact
answer.

I've a question regarding, as the subject says, how Windows treats multiple
users. I'd like to create an account where all the startup programs are
disabled except the essentials (windows essentials, a fire wall, symantec),
primarily for gaming purposes. I would like this to not change my main
account. Also, will disabling services for the gaming account also disable
them for the main account?
Thanks!
